Dos/Dos

That's right! Two posts in two days! This funny little thing happened today and I just had to share. Here's how the conversation went.

Thomas was sitting on the chair holding his tape measure. Noah walks up and Thomas decides to measure Noah's height.

Daddy: Wow, Noah. You sure are getting tall! 36 inches!

Noah: Let me measure you, daddy.

Daddy: I don't think you can reach, buddy.

Noah: I can. Stand up.

Thomas stands up and holds the tape measure up to his head.

Noah: starts giggling

Daddy: What does it say son? How tall am I?

Noah: Ummm, Too many pounds!

Mommy is laughing so hard she has tears in her eyes.

Daddy: Thanks alot son. Honey, that is not funny!

Again?

Okay, so once again it has been a month since i last posted. We have been busy doing I'm not really sure what.

Nathan played soccer this weekend in the Kohl's Cup. He had a game on Friday nite and then 2 games on Saturday. Noah got to spend the day at his mimi's house, while Mom and Dad hung out outside all day. We all got a little pink from the sun. During the last game, Nathan ended up with a blister on his heel. I felt so bad for him. He really wanted to play, but just couldn't handle the pain of his shoe rubbing on the broken blister. We had been pushing it a little with the soccer shoes. He probably could have used a new pair, but we thought maybe we could make through the season on the pair he had. Plus, Nathan was particularly in love with this pair of shoes. They had a dragon breathing fire across the heels. I told him that we would get him a new pair of shoes before his next practice. He said that he didn't want new ones that he loved his dragon ones. I said we'd try to find another pair just like them. He sat in my lap the rest of the game with huge tears running down his face. No sounds, just tears, as he stared at his shoes and rubbed his finger across the dragon. Broke my heart!

Noah is still driving my batty with the whole potty accident thing. I've finally decided that if he's playing really hard, he just doesn't want to take the time out to got to the potty. And, he does NOT care if he sits in wet pants. The boys got new bunk beds a couple of weeks ago. I think it was on the third day that he climbed the ladder and fell off. He really hasn't been back up there since. I can't believe my boy is going to be 4 years old in a 2 months. He surprises me every day with things he knows. He can count in Spanish, recognizes all his letters and numbers, knows the sounds of nearly all the letters. I expect he'll be reading small words soon like his brother did when he was 4.

We gained a new addition to our household this month. Thomas adopted a new puppy from the humane society. She is a chocolate lab mix, mixed with German short hair pointer, we think. I was planning on buying Thomas a hunting dog for his birthday or our anniversary this summer, we just happened to find her a little early. She seems to be a pretty sweet dog. She is scared of big balls and loves to pester my Lucy and chase the cats. Its definitely more work training a puppy. Lucy was an older dog when we got her, and she was already house broken, knew how to sit, and didn't chew up stuff.

The baby and I are trucking along pretty good. I am 16 weeks along. I can't wait til we can find out if we are having a boy or a girl. I have been having lots of headaches. The doctor thinks its migraines. Of course, I can't take anything for them. Thomas rubs my shoulder and neck as much as he can. I feel guilty for asking him all the time. If he grumbles though, I just tell him, "hey, I'm growing a human. what super hero things did you do today?" that usually works. Since my deductible on our insurance has been met a long time ago, I am going to physical therapy twice a week for massage therapy. Today was my first day, it felt pretty good, but I am a little sore. I'm taking my mom to my dr. appointment on wednesday to hear the heartbeat. She's pretty excited.

Noah has a little friend named Jonah in his class at church. His mama wrote the sweetest little blog about him this morning. So cute! Go here to read it. I can't figure out how to do a link, sorry. www.thefamilytoots.blogspot.com
